Wow, Op DESTINY BLACK was very haunting. I can just picture the utter devastation of what was once London.
EDIT: On the Tube, the AWE (IIRC) did model what would happen to the Underground in such a situation and it was not pretty. If a ground burst breached a tunnel the blast wave would travel down it for quite some direction in both directions, destroying everything in its path.
The reference to the stampede does remind me of some of the scenes from the novel '
Black Alert' (well worth reading, btw).
The Constable is still alive; I certainly didn't see that coming.
And the Munich Missile Crisis, nice one!
An American dud in Munich? That's weird. There's no way I can imagine the Americans dropping one on a city in one of its allies.
As Jack says if it is full of Soviet troops advancing West then why not? In @ the US planned to hit East Berlin with nuclear weapons and you can't get any closer to friendly territory than that.
Using a nuke on Munich is not really any different from Bomber Command flattening Caen in 1944, but on a much larger scale.
